We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "cosimulation",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Software for Xilinx electronic system level design from
Synplicity, which we summarised at the time by saying "Synplicity has joined the Xilinx ESL Initiative, adding its Synplify DSP software to the Xilinx ESL design ecosystem".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release EM simulator spreads coverage from
Ansoft Europe: "Electromagnetic field simulator gains finite-element-based DC solver optimised for extraction of power rail geometry in complex low-voltage/high-current PCB and package designs".
In May 2007, we covered the news from Apache Design Solutions
concerning its Sentinel
- take a look at Software extends focus to IC-package codesign
which says: "Software combines core switching, power delivery network, I/O subsystem and package/PCB models in a single environment for accurate IC-package codesign".
Take a look also at the news release from MathWorks, Link brings model based design to ADI DSPs,
as well as Virtual prototyping embraces industry standards from Vast Systems Technology,
and New interface simplifies design verification from Aldec.
